Immigration of Anti-immigration

Authors: Bang, Birte Sofie Ottestad;

Immigration of Anti-immigration

Abstract

To what extent can one say anti-immigration politics in Western Europe have been built on transnational foundations, and could it be argued that it has migrated between nationalist political parties? This thesis will investigate how the nationalistic far-right populist parties of the Alternative for Germany and the Sweden Democrats, were reliant on both transnational and historical values to enhance the nuance of xenophobia towards Muslim immigrants. Using the theoretical framework of Moral Panics, the political parties are presented as creators of two sets of supposed fears. These being the panics of Islamization of the nations, and how increased immigration is suggested followed by increased crime. Throughout the analysis, a connection between the parties’ ideologies of anti-immigration and anti-feminist sentiments presents itself. The mismatch between anti-feminism and German and Swedish nationalism is discussed through the term of Femonationalism. In the parties’ attempts to close their national borders, it was found how they simultaneously and likely unintentionally opened these same exact borders to a different kind of migration, a migration of ideas. With a transnational flow of people, especially the immigrant “wave” of 2015, also followed a transnational flow of ideas – ideas of anti-immigration.
